Films

Watching some old classics recently....

 

Harvey (1950) Great film and Jimmy Stewart is fantastic as Elwood P Dowd.

Gaslight (1940) Atmospheric psychological "thriller". Very, very good.

Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) Just a great film, I like Cary Grant and he is marvelous in this.

The African Queen (1951) a great film, superb acting from Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn.

 

I would recommend these to anyone that likes their cinema with great writing and no CG!

A couple of films to avoid(nephew picked them up on way to mine)

 

John Wick,and Daniel(ie the biblical one), both rubbish,and just remembered another horrendous one - Tammy...dear oh dear

Saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo yesterday. Really enjoyed it. Some very powerful scenes. Rooney Mara is amazing.

 

Noomi Rapace is a far better Lisbeth

[Nips_and_Tatties]

Watched Alien Covenant...loved it and thought it was one of the best tbh.

 

Hated Arthur and switched it off after 30 minutes.

 

Also saw Snatched..bit daft but actually quite good and as a comedy...it was actually funny which makes a change these days.

 

Up next is Going in Style and The Mummy

Finally got round to watching Fences the other day, decent film.  Not quite your usual Denzel film but interesting anyway.

 

Also watched some bizarre film set in Wales called Just Jim.  Not sure what I made of it.

[Nips_and_Tatties]

Fences bored the hell out of me.

 

Slowest film ever however the acting was brilliant.

 

It was like watching an intense stage drama with one built scene.

I can understand that.  I think that's how I felt about it too, great acting and I suppose it was more about the emotive story behind it.

Dunkirk. Holy shit. That was epic.

Going In Style. Thoroughly enjoyed it and one of my favourite movies of the year so far.

 

Watched this yesterday afternoon.  What a great and enjoyable film that was.  Was exactly what the doctor ordered!

Watched The Connection last night, French film, thocht it was excellent like.

Can't recommend this movie enough. Very slow, so don't expect fireworks, but for me, a great movie, stuck with me for days.

I saw The Big Sick last night, pretty decent for a romcom

[Gervaise_Brookhampster]

Watched Swiss Army Man last night What the fuck!

I know lists of stuff are really no gauge on a film, song etc, but just saw this on the BBC website. A top 100 list of film comedies. No place for See No Evil, Hear No Evil... just marks this top 100 out for the crock of shite it is.

Maybe someone should start an "overrated films" thread?

Great film about a Scottish nympho who fights for freedom .

 

Femdommmmmmmmmm

[Goldie03]

Wow has no-one been going to pics!!

 

I saw Wind River last week - very good

[Elgindon]

 

Yes,we were in to see Dunkirk at the w/e.Wasnt what we expected.Good film,a bit bleak for a large part of it,but maybe the aim was to keep it as real as possible.  7.5/10

[Nips_and_Tatties]

Wind river really good.

 

Watched Thor: ragnarok last night. Loved it.great special effects and actually pretty funny.

 

Also met Chris Helmsworth.

 

He's a cool dude

I dinna go to the pics (too sad to have anyone to go with) so I tend to watch when they become free on demand TV here, by then you've al seen them so I don't comment.

It's been fucking ages since I've seen a half decent film at the cinema. I think I've fallen asleep for an unprecedented 7 times in a row recently.

that's just auld age min!

[BigAl]

To pacify the current Mrs Al I went to see "Murder on the Orient Express"

If I was in a good mood I'd rate it as 5/10.

However I'm not, so it's a 4/10

Even she didn't overly rate it.

 

Enough said

Thank you Al. You’ve saved a couple of hours of life. Me and the Mrs were thinking of going to go see it in London one afternoon next week, only cos we usually take in a film when we’re down there and that was the one she suggested. But when our 16 year old saw it last weekend, she didn’t rate it so that was an alarm bell and so you’ve just killed the possibility. It can get to fuck. Never got into Agatha Christie anyway. Bitch.
